Hossa's contract is probably the worst out of all the current ones available. If Hinistroza is the main piece which gets the deal done, than I will be glad Benning wasn't involved in it. It would take a ton more than just a player to get that deal done, I would imagine anyway. |

Agreed, taking a bad contract to appease the fans is moronic. If we aren’t getting a high pick or prospect back then screw it. Save the cap and opportunities may come up during the season |

the good absolutely has to outweigh the bad when it comes to those contract for asset deals. The team trying to get rid of the contract, by all accounts, she come out "worse" of the deal, as they are needing to give up something big to lose something big. I am sure Benning has tested the waters on bad contracts that are out there, but I don't think he is going to take a long term contract if the price isn't worth the contract. |

I still don't understand why the Hawks are willing to give up assets to move that contract. He won't count against the cap during the season since he'll be LTIR'd. And teams can be over the cap by 10% during the off-season so having his cap hit count during every summer isn't crippling either.
CapFriendly:
“Can LTIR be used in the off-season?”
“Yes, LTIR can be used in the off-season while the 10% off-season cushion is active. LTIR in the off-season is calculated using the basic equation outlined above, which permits a team to exceed the off-season salary cap. To use off-season LTIR the team must provide doctors proof that the player in question will continue to be injured at the beginning of the regular season for 10 NHL games and 24 calendar days.”
“At the start of the season the teams LTIR relief & ACSL is recalculated when the 10% cushion is removed.”
So yeah, I'd take Hossa's contract if the Hawks gave us a pick or decent young player. I wouldn't be demanding a 1st or a bluechip prospect.
You guys are acting like Hossa is back playing, he unofficially retired like Pronger did. Zero chance he'd ever count against the cap during the season.
Seems like the most annoying this is having his contract count against the contract limit. |

normal cap space>ltir cap space
they want it gone before the season. if you are utilizing ltir space at the end of the season, performance bonuses get kicked into next year. leafs got hit. hawks also got hit with a $1.2M penalty; and can get dinged next year again.
also easier to accumulate cap space for the tdl if you're not using ltir. |

He has 3 years left on his deal. If the Canucks are planning on being in cap hell or buyers at the TDL then we have bigger problems here. It might sting a bit during the last year but it shouldn’t matter much to the Canucks for the year and next.
Canucks shouldn’t be deferring bonuses anyway. Not until the team is good again. Don’t you only get hit with penalties if you’re at the cap ceiling? |

I think the issue is not being over the cap during the offseason but that you need to be cap compliant by beginning of season and cannot place a player on LTIR until after that point. So it means that the Blackhawks cannot use that extra cap space until the season starts, which at that time there is no free agents available that are worth spending money on.

Outside of the Stepan deal and the Hayton pick, I like what Chayka has done since taking over. |

But if you can go over the cap by 10% during the off-season, can’t you sign a UFA for 5M and then LTIR Hossa during the first offficial “season day”?
I get that Hossa impairs your ability to go over the cap by much during the off season since his cap hit takes a good chunk of the 10% up, but how many teams actually go over the cap by more than 5% during the summer? |

I don't disagree. He fleeced MTL and fleeced Florida on recent trades. I am just saying, can't rip on Benning for not being apart of a deal that hasn't even been finalized yet. We have little to no details. |

Agreed.
Even in the Stepan deal, it’s not so bad if Raanta establishes himself as a true #1 G and Stepan gives them a few years of solid 2LC production. I find it funny that Chayka gets heat, he’s one of the “newer” GM’s in the league, he’s been on the job for like 2 years and hasn’t made any moves that were really laughed at. Outside of the Hayton pick. |

Yotes are getting a free assest for using cap space they don't need. No risk to them. |

I could be wrong but I think it is set up so you can't use one to offset the other.
Being 10% over the cap allows teams some flexibility to move players around but I believe the rule is they must first be compliant before being able to put a player on LTIR.
In other words the deadline to be able to be over by 10% is before the point you can put players on LTIR. |
